Amateur VS Pro boxing, what are the differences?

¿ See what I mean ? . Peace .:

 

Prevents cuts more than anything.

A cut prior to a fighter for a pro would have devastating affects.

So far as I know, sports headgear started out way back in the Roman empire to stop wrestlers from targeting the ears. The urban legend goes that the turning point was a man being killed by his own dog, who couldn't recognize its master, after a particularly brutal match.

Amateur boxing has shorter rounds, and is scored by 3-5 human Compuboxes with their view of the ring being strictly regulated. A judge can decide not to score a punch, "which merely connect, without the weight of the body or shoulder," and can also overrule a referee's decision. It's much easier for a fighter stable in the amateurs to have judges in their pockets, too... especially in a place where all the money involved is under the table. Cuba, for instance. Especially since the scores, and which judges did which cards, are confidential and destroyed after one year.

There's also "advantage," like in tennis, except that if you have it in the amateurs, the fight can be stopped as "outclassed." A knockdown, from a headshot - even if it's a flash knockdown - is automatically (depending on what the referee had for breakfast that morning) ruled a TKO. If there are clouds in the sky, the fight can be ruled a No Contest, at any time. If your ringwalk takes too long, you lose the bout.

There's two threads going on here. An informative one that treats the question seriously, and the masturbation party the TS is having with himself.
